Stedman Family Cemetery
High House Rd.
Cary, Wake Co., NC

Location: 3/10 mi. west of the intersection of Maynard Rd.(SR 1415) and 
High House Rd. (SR 1615), in Cary, on the south side of the road. Just 
prior to the transmission wires overhead, a new road leads into a freshly 
laid out subdivision, roads not yet completed. About 50 ft. straight ahead 
there is an oak and pine covered area, full of scrubby growth and ground 
cover less than 1/2 acre in size, and currently enclosed in protective 
temporary plastic fence. You can drive in and park although the road is 
rough and not yet paved. This is an abandoned cemetery that will, I hope, 
be preserved. Caution is required since there are deep depressions caused 
by the graves sinking.

This cemetery was disclosed to me by Det. Marcus Pearson, Cary Police, who 
came across it while attempting to locate the proper location of a headstone 
that was abandoned in Cary.

I clambered through the undergrowth with my faithful husband and recorded all that 
was visible and readable. Shirley Olson, glolson@attglobal.net

that it is hard to be exact.
